Wall rack with pivoting extensions

Abstract

A wall rack includes first and second mountable brackets, each including a plurality of spaced arms extending outwardly from the bracket for supporting items thereon. One or more arms of each bracket include a pivotable extension deployable to support wider items and storable when not needed.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A wall rack comprising:
 first and second mountable brackets; 
 each bracket including a plurality of spaced arms extending outwardly from the bracket for supporting items thereon; 
 at least one arm of said plurality of arms of each bracket including an extension deployable to support an item and moveable to a stored position in a channel in said at least one arm; 
 said arm including a top surface and said extension including a corresponding first surface for supporting items thereon in a deployed position and an opposite surface for supporting items thereon in the stored position when the extension is stored in the channel; and 
 the opposite surface of the extension lies in the same plane as the arm top surface with the extension is stored in the channel. 
 
     
     
       2. The wall rack of  claim 1  in which the extension pivots relative to said arm. 
     
     
       3. The wall rack of  claim 1  in which there are at least two arms per bracket and each includes a pivotable extension. 
     
     
       4. The wall rack of  claim 1  in which said arm terminates in a yoke section and the extension is received in the yoke section. 
     
     
       5. The wall rack of  claim 4  in which the yoke section includes a pair of spaced ears each with an orifice and the extension includes outwardly extending posts each received in a said orifice. 
     
     
       6. The wall rack of  claim 4  in which the extension includes a stop surface engaging said arm prohibiting the extension from pivoting more than about 180° with respect to said arm. 
     
     
       7. The wall rack of  claim 1  in which the channel includes a floor terminating in an edge engaging the extension when the extension is deployed. 
     
     
       8. The wall rack of  claim 1  in which said extension includes a channel therethrough. 
     
     
       9. The wall rack of  claim 1  in which the plurality of spaced arms each include a channel therethrough. 
     
     
       10. The wall rack of  claim 1  in which the extension first surface, in the deployed position, is co-extensive with the arm top surface.
